I found Michela online trying to find emergency alterations after my previous seamstress completely butchered my wedding dress. She answered my call right away, and had me come in the very next day. She assured me that she would be able to fix the damage that was done, but because the last woman made permanent cuts to the dress, that it could only be about 90- 95% fixed (which I did appreciated the honesty up front). In my initial appointment I sat with Michela for a few hours, as she had me retry on the dress with every little adjustment she made, which she was very thorough and precise with her work. Not only is Michaela skilled, but she is such a friendly and lovely woman to talk to, and made me feel reassured that she would be able to fix my dress in time. I came in for one more fitting after my initial appointment, and after 5 days she completely transformed my wedding dress into something that I was now excited to walk down the aisle in. I couldnt be happier with the job she did, and feel so blessed to have found Michela on such short notice. I will say that it was not the cheapest, but because there was so much that needed to be taken apart and put back together properly, I would say that the price was fair for my situation. I highly recommend using Michela if you are looking for alterations, and learn from my mistake by going to her first, instead of in an emergency. It is obvious that she is passionate about what she does, and has been doing it well over 70 years, so you know you are getting the best service with Michela.

Michela is such a sweet lady!
She did such an amazing job on my dress alterations that I needed done for my bridesmaids dress. I felt so beautiful wearing it. Thank you so much Michela for all the hard work you put into my dress! I highly Recommend Michela if u are looking for someone to do your alterations!

Found her on Google.. called.. and within 1.5 hours I had dropped off my dress and picked it back up. She is an amazing gem to have found on such a short notice!! Everyone I asked wanted to take 3 days.. she took one hour!! Highly recommended.

Loved Michela, she knows her stuff! She was quick and she is amazing at her craft. Wouldn't mind coming back just to chat, my daughter & I loved her.

I absolutely recommend this tailor. I am 100% satisfied with her work. Such a lovely woman, very professional & not only does she have many many years of experience, shes also brilliant with it. You will not be disappointed. Great price, too. Worth every penny. Michela, thank you so much for your kindness, hard work, and attention to detail in altering my wedding dress! It turned out so beautifully. I really appreciate all the effort you put into it. You made me fall in love with my dress all over again.

Michela did an amazing job on my daughter's wedding dress. The dress was a sample and was several sizes too big. The job truly was no small task. It came out better than we even expected. Michela's skills are AMAZING and her attention to detail is superb. We will definitely use her in the future should the need arise and we will recommend her to all our friends. If you want quality work, call Michela!

Michela was awesome! She did a great job on the dress and got it done fast! Ill admit, I think the price was a little high, and she asks you what youre willing to pay, opposed to giving you an estimate. But overall, shes a lovely, talented lady and shes amazing at her craft! Highly recommend!

Best alteration experience Ive had!! Michela is the sweetest, attentive, communicates well, and pays attention to detail. Shes been doing this for over 50 years! She will make sure that you are happy with the results and will not hesitate to make sure she accommodates to your needs. I recommend her to anyone that is looking to get any alterations!!! Would not want to give my business to anyone else moving forward. I will be back.

Michela is amazing at what she does and has been doing for over 50 years. She is very kind, honest, fast and will meet your needs. If you need a wedding dress, bridesmaid dress, prom dress, or suit tailored/altered come see her!!! You will not regret it. She is very trustworthy. I am so happy I brought my bridesmaid dress to Michela. She deserves the business and I will continue to come see her and will recommend her to everyone!

Ive used Michela twice to tailor dresses, and was nowhere near disappointed! She was very honest, efficient, and knew exactly what was best for the dress!

My recent bridesmaid dress ended up being too small near my shoulders. I was so upset because I loved the style and didnt want to have to buy a new one. Within a matter of 4 days, Michela was able to transform my tight-fitting dress into a size that worked! All while also having multiple other dresses to tailor.

I would recommend her every time!

The sweetest seamstress ! Very friendly and fast service. My dress got altered in 1 day !! Thank you Michela

Such a wonderful experience. She is gentle as she is kind!!! I looked all over for a person that could make a cape, not just any cape my wedding cape!!! If you are a male looking for tailored items, shes the one to do it however, make sure you bring a female acquaintance with you for safety on all parties.I needed a mens wedding cape in less than 72 hours and she produced it in 48 thank you for helping me I love you!!!

Michela is amazing! I've been here twice and I've been SO happy with the experience both times. She is quick, flexible, and has fair prices. There's no better place to go for alterations than Michela!

Michela is absolutely wonderful!! So talented and kind. My dress needed last minute alterations. I unfortunately was having no luck for help. I was so stressed. Michela came to the rescue! You cant even tell work has been done on it. So grateful for her! Cant wait to dance the night away celebrating my best friends wedding! Thank you Michela! 10/10

Michela did alterations on my wedding dress and she did a wonderful job. Michela is a great seamstress and I highly recommend her.

As the mother of the bride, I wanted my dress to be perfect. Michela is a great seamstress, hemming it perfectly! I highly recommend her for all your alteration needs.

I needed a bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding in September. She was simply amazing. She takes the time to ensure everything is altered perfectly. Her attention to detail was superb. Her prices were very reasonable and she was very quick! I highly recommend her!!

She did an amazing job on a dress I needed for a party. Did the job in less than a day, for a reasonable price. Good customer service, very welcoming, great hospitality.

Michela is simply the best. She's truly gifted in her work and an all around amazing person! She's extremely flexible, works very quickly, and will do what's needed to make sure you are completely satisfied. She's genuine to the core and QUALITY is at the forefront of everything she does. Her "nothing is impossible" outlook is what really sets her apart from the rest and I would highly recommend her for wedding dresses, gowns, and any complex garment. My wedding dress had lots of detail, appliques, six layers, and needed lots of work. Michela worked her magic and I'm so grateful for the wonderful experience I had. 20/10!!!!

Had Michela alter my daughter’s prom dress. She did fabulous work and had it done within a week. Definitely would recommend her services.

Friendly fast service and great work. HIGHLY recommended!!

Excellent Experience! Michela is VERY professional. Made me feel confident from the very beginning. I left two dresses with her to alter and when I came to pick them up I was 100% VERY happy with her work. I would highly recommend her for all your alteration needs.

Great fast work!

She does a beautiful job and very quick. Shes been doing this for many years and it shows in her work. Shes so sweet and even let me come after her hours. Wonderful and easy to work with,I highly recommended.

Michela is an absolute Gem! She altered my daughters multi layered prom dress so beautifully it looked like it was made that way and had it done in less than a week.

Just met this very special lady. She was warm, interesting and very accommodating to my emergency. I needed a mother of the bride dress hemmed. Would recommend her to anyone.

Michela was great. Her work was really good too. She was very sweet and fast. I would definitely use her services again!

Omg she is a life saver! She was reasonable and fast. So very nice ... so happy I found her!

Michela is a gem! She is kind, patient, diligent, and detail oriented. I came in with a dress off the rack that was a few sizes too big. In less than 3 weeks she was able to take my too big dress and make it fit perfectly! You couldnt even tell the dress was originally too big. The bodice of the dress was full of beading and rhinestones, but she was able to make the alterations seamlessly. Her flexibility was amazing as well which was great because I have a busy work schedule and have a hard time booking appointments. She works out of home and she keeps it spotless which is great because you know your dress is safe and not at risk of getting dirty. I truly enjoyed working with Michela and getting to know her. I would highly highly recommend her for all your alteration needs. She most certainly wont disappoint!

Michela was outstanding. I was a bridesmaid and needed alterations and Michela exceed my expectations. She was very professional and she was able to finish my dress in 2 days. She was very reasonable priced and the quality of her work was amazing. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the future and I would recommend her to anyone!

Michela was absolutely amazing. She was very personable and great to work with. She was incredibly quick and was able to return my bridesmaid dress to me within one day for minor alterations. She was very flexible with my schedule and willing to work around my odd hours. Most importantly, the work she did was perfect. The dress looks gorgeous. I would highly recommend!

Before Michela, my dress was so sloppy on my oddly shaped body. Michela made my dress come alive and fit me like a GLOVE!!!!! I love the workmanship and her commitment to excellence. My Groom will be stunned Michela is amazing!!!!!

My experience here was wonderful! She knows everything there is to know about bridal gowns and had great recommendations for alterations. She does a fantastic job and does it quickly. Her prices are reasonable for the amount of work she does on these dresses.

Michela began sewing as a young child in her native country of Italy. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to. Her talent and skills are easily seen, as is her true passion for tailoring. She took in an off-the-rack size 16 wedding dress to a size 4 in a week! Not only was the dress too wide, but it was also too long, and Michela cut and stitched the lace back together so perfectly you cant even see a stitch! I recommend Michela to all my friends and family for their tailoring needs. 10/5 stars!!

Michela is incredibly kind and her work is flawless!

Im so grateful I found Michela! I needed last minute alterations on my daughters homecoming dress. Didnt know any reliable sources in the area & when I seen all her positive reviews from other clients, figured there had to be something special going on here... She is an amazing woman! She was reasonable and so knowledgeable and trustworthy... She had the dress finished pretty quick... She deserves more then 5 stars!

She was amazing! Very talented and reasonable. She had my dress done in a week.

I would like to say Michela is very great person and she did a very awesome job on my bridal dress. This is my first time getting married and I really feel like I would be the perfect bride now after not wanting to wear a wedding dress. I want to say thank you so much Michela Bridal she is the person to go to if you need alterations done. I Love it.

A+ work! I called minutes after buying a dress that was severely too long for me. She answered, agreed to an immediate consult, and gave a fair price. Not to mention the work was completed lightning-fast! Great woman and skill!

Highly recommend Michela! She does beautiful work and is an even more beautiful person. This woman has a lifetime of experience and knows what shes doing. I got exactly what I asked for. At the final fitting my dress fit like a glove. I didnt want to take it off! Ill update with photos after the wedding.

I highly recommend Michela. She was warm and welcoming. She took the time to tell me about my options to let out a bridesmaid dress. I couldn't be happier the beautiful nworknshe did. She gaurantees perfection and fast completion. Sweetest, kindest woman!

Michela is wonderful to work with!! She works hard to get the job done and the dresses are always perfect! She custom made my maid of honors dresses and they were absolutely beautiful and fit like a glove. She also altered my wedding dress and it is perfect! She has made this experience easy and fun! 5 stars, would recommend Michela to anyone!! Very nice, professional and easy to work with!

Please go to her, this woman is a gift from God and can make anything happen!!! I went to her days before my wedding because my dress wouldn't zip and she had my dressed fixed and ready the next day. My dress fit perfectly, she's so amazing at what she does

Where do I start? Michela is a gem of a person and a gifted seamstress. I found my dream wedding dress in a sample size that was two sizes too big. On top of that, the dress is full lace with intricate beading. I came in for a consultation at 11 a.m. on a Friday. Michela had me come back that night around 8 p.m. for my first fitting! After making more notes for the alterations, Michela called me back for my final fitting and dress pick-up on the following Tuesday! The dress is simply perfection. It fits my body like a glove, and Michela preserved all of the intricate detail of the lace and beading, even after shortening the dress by a few inches. Michela even made me a matching face mask using the leftover lace from my dress! With my wedding less than two months away, I was very concerned that I had not found a dress. Working with Michela lifted that burden off of my shoulders. I recommend that ALL brides trust Michela with their wedding dress alterations. You will be more than pleased!

Great price, very fast, and excellent work. Dropped my dress off in the morning and picked it up all done and steamed in the afternoon. Recommend for anyone looking for prom/ dress alterations.

Michela is amazing! She pays attention to detail and does incredible work! She was able to work quickly on my dress and very patient with working with exactly what I wanted!

Michela did phenomenal work on my wedding dress. She is very detailed, patient, and made my dress perfect. The pricing is very reasonable and the dress was ready in about 2 days for many alterations. Michela is very friendly and knows her stuff! She has amazing experience and owned 4 boutiques in the past. 100% recommend her and will be back again for future alterations.

Expert seamstress!!! She altered my dress to perfection! She was timely, knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I will definitely be back!

My experience with Michela was great. She was very nice and patient as we figured out how to alter my wedding dress in the best way. She completed the alteration within one hour for me and did a great job!

Im blown away by Michelas craftsmanship, and how fast she is! I brought my wedding dress in on a Sunday, had my first fitting that Tuesday, and was able to take it home the following Sunday. She offers a personalized experience and works hard until you are 110% satisfied.

I was so nervous that my dress wouldnt fit me the way I wanted it to fit, but Michela is a master of her craft. Im truly in awe. I will be recommending her to anyone I know who needs a dress tailored. Do not hesitate to contact her, especially for wedding dresses! You will not be disappointed!

She did a great job & finished it in 6 hours! Would highly recommend.

I searched up the closest seamstress near me to alter my wedding dress and the Lord truly presented me Michela! I cant say enough wonderful things about this amazing woman!
She made my dress fit like a glove and was so helpful and efficient!
She asked many questions to make sure I had the exact fit I wanted and welcomed my comments.

I took a veil that I bought to one of my fittings and she asked how much I paid for it. I told her and she goes, Can you return it? I can give you one I have. She brought me the prettiest veil and comb and placed it on my hair and I just wanted to hug her! Such a kind soul!!
I enjoyed our wonderful talks so much that I am considering buying many oversized dresses just to have an excuse to visit her again.
Would 1000% recommend Michela. You will not regret it!

Michela is fantastic! I brought in a bridesmaid dress on a Friday morning for alterations, and thedress was finished by Saturday evening, even earlier than expected. I've never gotten alterations done so fast! There were several things about the dress that needed to be fixed, and it fits like a glove now. Michela talked me through everything she was going to do and why, which I really appreciated, and she asked for my input to make sure it'd be exactly what I was looking for. She's both professional and personable and made sure I was 100% happy with theresult. I felt like I was in expert hands and will go back next time I need alterations. Highly recommend!

Michela was so great to work with! She got the job done quickly and she genuinely wanted to make sure my needs were met in how I felt in my dresses. Pricing was fair. I would recommend her over & over again!

Michela Bridal is amazing! My dress was ready in less than 24 hours. Quality work and reasonable price. I definitely recommend!

Michaela does amazing work! She explained she has decades of experience and has never met a job she couldn't complete! Highly recommend for any alterations needed!

Michela is amazing and I am so grateful to have found her - special thanks to the Google reviewers. The vast amount of experience she has is reflected in the fitting and final product. She altered a gown for me and I will use her in the future for all my alteration needs.

Michaela was absolutely amazing. She made my dress fit like a glove and created a beautiful bustle for my train. She is very reasonable with her pricing as well. Highly recommend!

Michela was amazing! She let my dress out, then fitted it to me, and a hem. The dress fit like a glove and it was done in 3 days! She is so knowledgeable and attentive!

Excellent work. Incredibly experienced seamstress. I needed the sleeves of a bridesmaid dress altered and didnt have enough of the same material as the dress. Michela found a very similar shade and material (velvet) and knew how to place it so you cant tell a difference. She had it all done in less than 24 hours.

I needed suit pants hemmed urgently for wear the same evening and Michela had them completed within 30 minutes. She had previously done same day alterations on my daughters prom dress. Excellent work and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend her!

Michaela is the best. She did my alterations in 1 day but also assisted with a strapless bra that I was unable to find in time and altered it as well. Her prices were awesome. I would suggest anyone to try her out she's been in the business a very long time and definitely knows how to make you feel beautiful

Michela was a dream to work with. I had a lot of trouble finding a seamstress to alter my wedding dress, but Michela was so accommodating and easy to schedule with. In total I had 3 fittings with her and my dress was absolutely perfect - it fits like a glove! I would trust her with any tailoring needs. Can't recommend enough!

Wonderful seamstress! Very good understanding of what I wanted done with my dress and was able to complete the work very quickly. Thank you so much! I loved how my dress turned out!

i went to michela because i needed a dress taken in and i wanted to add straps. i called multiple other places and they all said they couldnt do it. i called michela and brought my dress to her the same day. i am so happy with how it came out its fits perfectly now!

Michaela was truly a life saver! With everything I had going on, I completely dropped the ball on getting a bustle put on my dress, waiting until a month before our destination wedding. I contacted multiple places for alterations and they were all booked for months. Michaela was able to fit me in immediately and not only created the most beautiful bustle, but also advised me to do a couple of other alterations that really enhanced my dress. She was able to do all of this insanely quickly and her work was just amazing. My dress was everything I wanted it to be and I can't thank her enough! I highly recommend her for any alteration needs.

Michelas very accommodating. I needed my sisters hem altered on such short notice. Ive went to see multiple tailors but, they couldnt do it on such short notice and fortunately, Michela had time to take my request. She was able to finish the dress in one day, my sister and I are pleased with the results. Also, her prices are reasonable. I highly recommend!

Michela is a dream come true! I was having trouble finding a seamstress who was able to shorten my wedding dress. I went to Michela's and she had my dress done in less than 2 weeks and it fits perfectly! I highly recommend her! She is also one of the sweetest people I've ever met!

I was in from Ohio for a family event on a Sunday and had just bought my outfit the day before. Ms. Michela was the first listing in my Google search for "same-day alterations near Orland Park open on Sunday" and that was a gift from above! I took her my outfit around 1 pm and picked it up just a few hours later, BEAUTIFULLY altered. My mother was a seamstress and I have a little experience myself, and Ms. Michela's work is the finest I've ever seen. You will not regret coming to her.

I bought my gown from House of Brides (BEWARE- Do not go here!) They have one seamstress for the ENTIRE building and she was so stressed and frazzled, she did not alter my dress correctly. My wedding is October 1st. It was taken it too much and only taken on one side, not centered. I couldn't even breathe. She also attempted to cut the beautiful lace on the hem of my dress completely off! I had so much anxiety and negative energy from House of Brides I just rescued my dress from the store. I was ripped off $600 for "alterations." Anyway, I found Michela on google, read her great reviews and called her the day I rescued my dress. Michela was so kind and caring toward a stressed bride. I described my dress concerns on the phone and she invited me to her home that evening! She genuinely cared about my dress and myself. I could tell she was passionate about helping others and her amazing talent. She has been sewing since she was 7 and learned from the best in Italy. She pinned me up and listened to what I wanted for my gown. Two days later she had the bust fixed, the waist fixed and lace hem fixed! I did a second fitting with her and it was BEAUTIFUL. The dress was MORE BEAUTIFUL! She finished the tool and slip hem and created a European bustle and 4 days later, my dress was finished! I am absolutely IN LOVE with my dress. This woman is my fairy godmother! Highly recommend! Amazing woman and fairly priced. <3 Thank you Michela!

She did an excellent job with altering my dress, came out perfect. My dress was done in like 2 weeks maybe less. Very friendly and professional with everything. I will definitely go back to her again!

Michela is the best! She altered my wedding dress for me about 6 months ago and it was absolutely perfect. She added pearls to the bustle of my dress to make the clips easier to find and it was stunning! I had several people come up to me and tell me how amazing the bustle on my dress was and they had never seen a dress bustled that way before! Not only was her work perfect, but she is also quick and won't let you leave unless you are 100% satisfied! You can 100% trust your dress in her hands!

Michela reworked my dress for my daughters wedding. Extended the sleeves, altered the top and the length. Turned the dress around in a few days and it was perfect!

I am so excited for the big day now! Its four days away. Thank you for doing such a fabulous job and going out of your way to make it perfect! Working extra hours to create perfection given how little time we had. Your attention to detail is exquisite. You're the best! Thank you, Michela!

Great service!

She saved my life a week before my daughter's birthday Gala! When noone else could she worked a miracle. My dress came out beautiful! My wedding dress is next and I'm ecstatic. I know she will make it perfect

Michela worked miracles on my mother of the bride dress. I ordered the dress online and when it arrived it was huge on me even though I had my measurements done and ordered based on the website sizing guide. I had no time to order another dress and had 3 weeks until the wedding . She got me in immediately and 2 fittings and 1 week later I had my dress back and it was perfect!!! Better than I could have ever imagined. Highly recommend!!! She’s a miracle worker !!!

Recently brought Michelle my dress from grace loves lace (west loop chicago) and she did such a fantastic job! So many compliments and so affordable. Would recommend her to anyone and hope
To visit her again. Thanks - we appreciate you!

Michela did a beautiful job with my wedding dress. She was able to fix all of the problem places seamlessly. My dress fits like a glove and I feel so comfortable and confident in it. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Thank you so much Michela! She helped me on auch a short notice to fix my maid of honor dress! She made everything fit so comfortably and the dress looks and fits more beautifully than the original! If you need fast, professional, beautiful and efficient work done then you need to call Michela! I'm so happy 5 stars. Highly recommend her!

MICHELA IS AMAZING!!!!! I ordered my dress from a designer with a round neckline and a couple months later I changed my mind about the neckline and wanted a square shaped style.. I called multiple boutiques and stores including david’s bridal who told me it would be almost impossible to change from round to square. I stumbled across Michela’s website read all her reviews and decided to give her a try. I called her and she said that she can do anything I asked of her. It was her first time cutting a neckline of a wedding dress so I was a bit nervous at first. But, I showed her my inspiration picture and trusted her to go ahead and cut it for me. She cuts it while i’m there and makes sure i’m happy with how it is. She then told me it would be ready in a week!! I came back tried on my wedding dress and it was absolutely stunning ! Do not think twice give Michela a chance!! Will definitely come back for more work in the future.

Michela is my favorite seamstress. Her attention to detail, knowledge of body shape and design is evident in her work. My bridesmaid dress was 2 sizes too big. After she finished, it was perfect. I love it. This is second dress that was altered here and I will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for your beautiful work! Love my bridesmaid dress and flower girl dress for my daughter!

Michela altered my prom dress and I am so happy with how the results came out. She shortened the bottom and even put in a slit in my dress and she will always negotiate with prices. I am very happy with how it all turned out and I very recommend because her work is beyond amazing!

Michela understood exactly what I wanted to get done with my prom dress; she made it fit me like a glove and made it look like a million dollar dress! She is a very kind and likeable woman, and she does her job quickly and excellently.

She is very nice and very fast! Does great work… highly recommend!!

What an amazing experience to meet Michela and witness the transformation of the dresses she altered for us for a wedding. Words can not describe what a true seamstress she is. You can't go wrong with her. I will never go anywhere else now to get things altered. She is simply the best.

Michela found a very similar shade and material (velvet) and knew how to place it so you cant tell a difference. She had it all done in less than 24 hours.

Heard about Michela through a friend who had her alter her and her daughters dresses. Michela is the best at her craft. I bought a mother of the groom dress at Jcpenny which had beading on the top and was too big, she tailored it to fit perfectly! She also altered my daughters bridesmaid dress, both in a short period of time. It took me longer to pick it up than for her to alter it. Lol. The woman is amazing and also a very sweet lady. Her demeanor is very calming and reassuring. Thank you Michela, you are an exception seamstress!!

Michela is exceptional at her craft. She was available and the work war done very professionally and timely. I highly recommend her for alterations. You can trust this person to take care of you once in a lifetime dress!

Michela did the alterations for my wedding dress. She did an excellent job. My dress was beautiful and it fit me like a glove in all the right places. I would highly recommend Michela.

Michela was a dream to work with. I had a lot of trouble finding a seamstress to alter my wedding dress, but Michela was so accommodating and easy to schedule with. In total I had 3 fittings with her and my dress was absolutely perfect - it fits like a glove! I would trust her with any tailoring needs. Can't recommend enough!

Michela is fantastic! I brought in a bridesmaid dress on a Friday morning for alterations, and thedress was finished by Saturday evening, even earlier than expected. I've never gotten alterations done so fast! There were several things about the dress that needed to be fixed, and it fits like a glove now. Michela talked me through everything she was going to do and why, which I really appreciated, and she asked for my input to make sure it'd be exactly what I was looking for. She's both professional and personable and made sure I was 100% happy with theresult. I felt like I was in expert hands and will go back next time I need alterations. Highly recommend!

I searched up the closest seamstress near me to alter my wedding dress and the Lord truly presented me Michela! I cant say enough wonderful things about this amazing woman!
She made my dress fit like a glove and was so helpful and efficient!
She asked many questions to make sure I had the exact fit I wanted and welcomed my comments.

I took a veil that I bought to one of my fittings and she asked how much I paid for it. I told her and she goes, Can you return it? I can give you one I have. She brought me the prettiest veil and comb and placed it on my hair and I just wanted to hug her! Such a kind soul!!
I enjoyed our wonderful talks so much that I am considering buying many oversized dresses just to have an excuse to visit her again.
Would 1000% recommend Michela. You will not regret it!

She did a great job & finished it in 6 hours! Would highly recommend.

Michela is incredible! She tailored my bridesmaid dress quickly and expertly. She knew exactly how to alter my dress to compliment my shape and keep the integrity of the fit of the dress! I will continue to recommend her to all!

Im blown away by Michelas craftsmanship, and how fast she is! I brought my wedding dress in on a Sunday, had my first fitting that Tuesday, and was able to take it home the following Sunday. She offers a personalized experience and works hard until you are 110% satisfied.

I was so nervous that my dress wouldnt fit me the way I wanted it to fit, but Michela is a master of her craft. Im truly in awe. I will be recommending her to anyone I know who needs a dress tailored. Do not hesitate to contact her, especially for wedding dresses! You will not be disappointed!

Michela is amazing! She expertly tailored my wedding dress to perfection in less than a week. Very highly recommended!! I’ll definitely be back!

Michela is a master of her craft! I’m blown away by how quickly she was able to alter my once ill-fitting wedding dress to a gown that properly compliments my shape.

My experience with Michela was great. She was very nice and patient as we figured out how to alter my wedding dress in the best way. She completed the alteration within one hour for me and did a great job!

She is the very very best! No one else is like her! She knows everything from making patterns, designing, making christening gowns and communion dresses from wedding dresses too! She did my daughters wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses! There is nothing she cannot do about sewing ! She never disappoints! If you want it done the right way go to Michela! I loved her!

Great price, very fast, and excellent work. Dropped my dress off in the morning and picked it up all done and steamed in the afternoon. Recommend for anyone looking for prom/ dress alterations.

Great customer service, great turn around, perfect work! Thanks

Michelle did fantastic work and I couldn't be happier with my wedding dress! She will do everything possible to make sure you have the best fit. She is also very flexible to accommodate her clients. I am from out of town and could only visit her at limited times for fittings but she was willing to have me at her house at off-times. She nailed the fit and made my dress look like it was made for me =] thank you, Michela!!

Professional and personal. Very nice to work with. Michela did a wonderful job. I'm very pleased. Thank you!

Friendly fast service and great work. HIGHLY recommended!!

She is a wonderful woman, very pleasant and personable! HIGHLY recommend going to her!! Thank you for everything Michela!!

Excellent Experience! Michela is VERY professional. Made me feel confident from the very beginning. I left two dresses with her to alter and when I came to pick them up I was 100% VERY happy with her work. I would highly recommend her for all your alteration needs.

Expert seamstress!!! My wedding dress was chiffon and she hemmed it, did the bustle, and added hooks. It was PERFECT!!! The chiffon was hemmed to perfection! Even, neat, and beautiful. Fast service! Completed my dress in less than a week and saved the wedding! I could not imagine going anywhere else!!!

She did a fantastic job with my sister's homecoming dress. It was perfect

Great fast work!

Michela is amazing! My dress was a complete mess and Michela was able to fix it within a day for my event! Hands down the sweetest, nicest and most experienced woman Ive ever had alterations done by. She is a perfectionist!! Will definitely be coming back for all of my future alterations!!!

She does a beautiful job and very quick. Shes been doing this for many years and it shows in her work. Shes so sweet and even let me come after her hours. Wonderful and easy to work with,I highly recommended.

Michela is an absolute Gem! She altered my daughters multi layered prom dress so beautifully it looked like it was made that way and had it done in less than a week.

Just met this very special lady. She was warm, interesting and very accommodating to my emergency. I needed a mother of the bride dress hemmed. Would recommend her to anyone.

Michela was great. Her work was really good too. She was very sweet and fast. I would definitely use her services again!

Omg she is a life saver! She was reasonable and fast. So very nice ... so happy I found her!

Michela is a gem! She is kind, patient, diligent, and detail oriented. I came in with a dress off the rack that was a few sizes too big. In less than 3 weeks she was able to take my too big dress and make it fit perfectly! You couldnt even tell the dress was originally too big. The bodice of the dress was full of beading and rhinestones, but she was able to make the alterations seamlessly. Her flexibility was amazing as well which was great because I have a busy work schedule and have a hard time booking appointments. She works out of home and she keeps it spotless which is great because you know your dress is safe and not at risk of getting dirty. I truly enjoyed working with Michela and getting to know her. I would highly highly recommend her for all your alteration needs. She most certainly wont disappoint!

Michela was outstanding. I was a bridesmaid and needed alterations and Michela exceed my expectations. She was very professional and she was able to finish my dress in 2 days. She was very reasonable priced and the quality of her work was amazing. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the future and I would recommend her to anyone!

Michela was absolutely amazing. She was very personable and great to work with. She was incredibly quick and was able to return my bridesmaid dress to me within one day for minor alterations. She was very flexible with my schedule and willing to work around my odd hours. Most importantly, the work she did was perfect. The dress looks gorgeous. I would highly recommend!

Before Michela, my dress was so sloppy on my oddly shaped body. Michela made my dress come alive and fit me like a GLOVE!!!!! I love the workmanship and her commitment to excellence. My Groom will be stunned Michela is amazing!!!!!

My experience here was wonderful! She knows everything there is to know about bridal gowns and had great recommendations for alterations. She does a fantastic job and does it quickly. Her prices are reasonable for the amount of work she does on these dresses.

Michela began sewing as a young child in her native country of Italy. Not because she had to, but because she wanted to. Her talent and skills are easily seen, as is her true passion for tailoring. She took in an off-the-rack size 16 wedding dress to a size 4 in a week! Not only was the dress too wide, but it was also too long, and Michela cut and stitched the lace back together so perfectly you cant even see a stitch! I recommend Michela to all my friends and family for their tailoring needs. 10/5 stars!!

Michela is incredibly kind and her work is flawless!

Im so grateful I found Michela! I needed last minute alterations on my daughters homecoming dress. Didnt know any reliable sources in the area & when I seen all her positive reviews from other clients, figured there had to be something special going on here... She is an amazing woman! She was reasonable and so knowledgeable and trustworthy... She had the dress finished pretty quick... She deserves more then 5 stars!

Great Service! Michela was very kind and professional. Keep in mind she is a little pricy but she does EXCEPTIONAL WORK! I was in the process of losing weight before my wedding and she waited until the DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING to alter my dress to give me more time to lose weight! She also altered my flower girl dresses(I had two) in only two days. If you are in a hurry or need some last minute alterations I highly recommend her! Even if you have time, she is great and takes pride in her work.

She was amazing! Very talented and reasonable. She had my dress done in a week.

I would like to say Michela is very great person and she did a very awesome job on my bridal dress. This is my first time getting married and I really feel like I would be the perfect bride now after not wanting to wear a wedding dress. I want to say thank you so much Michela Bridal she is the person to go to if you need alterations done. I Love it.

A+ work! I called minutes after buying a dress that was severely too long for me. She answered, agreed to an immediate consult, and gave a fair price. Not to mention the work was completed lightning-fast! Great woman and skill!

Highly recommend Michela! She does beautiful work and is an even more beautiful person. This woman has a lifetime of experience and knows what shes doing. I got exactly what I asked for. At the final fitting my dress fit like a glove. I didnt want to take it off! Ill update with photos after the wedding.

I highly recommend Michela. She was warm and welcoming. She took the time to tell me about my options to let out a bridesmaid dress. I couldn't be happier the beautiful nworknshe did. She gaurantees perfection and fast completion. Sweetest, kindest woman!

Michela is wonderful to work with!! She works hard to get the job done and the dresses are always perfect! She custom made my maid of honors dresses and they were absolutely beautiful and fit like a glove. She also altered my wedding dress and it is perfect! She has made this experience easy and fun! 5 stars, would recommend Michela to anyone!! Very nice, professional and easy to work with!

Please go to her, this woman is a gift from God and can make anything happen!!! I went to her days before my wedding because my dress wouldn't zip and she had my dressed fixed and ready the next day. My dress fit perfectly, she's so amazing at what she does

Where do I start? Michela is a gem of a person and a gifted seamstress. I found my dream wedding dress in a sample size that was two sizes too big. On top of that, the dress is full lace with intricate beading. I came in for a consultation at 11 a.m. on a Friday. Michela had me come back that night around 8 p.m. for my first fitting! After making more notes for the alterations, Michela called me back for my final fitting and dress pick-up on the following Tuesday! The dress is simply perfection. It fits my body like a glove, and Michela preserved all of the intricate detail of the lace and beading, even after shortening the dress by a few inches. Michela even made me a matching face mask using the leftover lace from my dress! With my wedding less than two months away, I was very concerned that I had not found a dress. Working with Michela lifted that burden off of my shoulders. I recommend that ALL brides trust Michela with their wedding dress alterations. You will be more than pleased!

Top notch!

Can I just say AMAZING!!!! I brought my dress to Ms. Michele and she ROCKED MY DRESS!!! I love it more now than I did when I first purchased it!! Not only is she amazing but she is QUICK!!! I love her and I will send everyone I know her way!! Surely a God send!! I can’t wait until my future husband sees me walk down the aisle!!

AMAZING!! Michela did fabulous work on a group of bridesmaid dresses for us- they looked perfect and they were done so quickly! Wonderful service and she genuinely loves her work.

Michela is wonderful to work with!! She works hard to get the job done and the dresses are always perfect! She custom made my maid of honors dresses and they were absolutely beautiful and fit like a glove. She also altered my wedding dress and it is perfect! She has made this experience easy and fun! 5 stars, would recommend Michela to anyone!! Very nice, professional and easy to work with!

Michela’s altered my daughter’s wedding gown and did an exceptional job. She also custom made the maid of honor dresses and they are beautiful. I highly recommend Michela for custom made dresses and alterations on any dresses. And she is a joy to work with. AD

my daughters had 3 sundresses that needed altering. Michela was so lovely and had them done for us in 24 hours!!! Perfect job, will absolutely go to her again when we need alterations

She’s a gem, very kind and considerate affordable and I would come to her again.

I can’t say enough good things about Michela! She did such an amazing job on my alterations and was so quick with turnaround.

Michela is the absolute best seamstress. I dropped my dress off 10 days ago, thinking alterations would take weeks. Michela does phenomenal work, and is very quick, and reliable. She will not let you leave without being 100% satisfied. I have a complicated dress, with a lot of lace and beading. The dress is now perfect. I highly recommend contacting Michela for your bridal needs.

Thanks to Michela for an extremely rushed skirt alteration for my father's funeral. She is just as warm and friendly as she is talented!!! Jill

I wish I could give Michela ten out of five stars! I called her Saturday night in an utter panic after picking my bridal gown up from another seamstress. My dress was off center, the seams were bumpy and crooked, and the bust still didn’t fit SIX DAYS BEFORE MY WEDDING. Michela told me to come over right away and that she would try to help. What an understatement. After discussing the severity of the damage done, she gave me a very honest assessment and said she could get my dress to 95%, but not 100%. Michela then started working in front of me to show me the sloppy work that was done - work that was a true injustice to my beautiful gown. She took my gown apart completely and worked around the clock so I could come for my first fitting Monday afternoon. This woman is a true artist. My dress looks like it was custom made for me after she had it for just two days. I wish I had found her before I wasted money on the first seamstress and potentially ruined my gown. She made my dress everything I dreamed it would be after it was butchered. Thank you Michela!!!!!!!!!!

Michela was wonderful & an excellent seamstress/tailor!
I had lost 30 plus pounds since I had purchased my dress for my daughter's wedding so basically the dress had to be remade!
She did an excellent job & made me wait until the last minute for my fitting because I was still losing weight. Went in the morning, the dress was ready by that evening & it fit perfectly!
I would highly reccommend her!

My experience here was wonderful! Michela knows everything there is to know about bridal gowns and had great recommendations for alterations. The best part is that she cares most about having a happy bride and will listen to the bride’s ideas! She does a fantastic job and does it quickly. She had my dress done in a matter of days! I highly recommend her for bridal gown alterations. Her prices are reasonable for the amount of work she does on these dresses. I was so worried about budget and how my dress would turn out because the neckline needed to be made higher. She did such a great job, it looks like I bought the dress that way! She is so personable and I am definitely going back to her to have my dress steamed and for any future dresses I may need altered.

Michela’s Bridal was excellent. She was super friendly and made my dress fit perfectly. She was super quick and I was able to pick my dress up the following day. Although she has the hours below, she was very flexible and was willing to let me come after 6PM because I get home late on weekdays. I would highly recommend!

Amazing! Michela is so sweet and has amazing work! My dress is beautiful and fits amazing. I am looking forward to wearing it and taking photos of how amazing it is

Michela's service is amazing. She is very accommodating and patient. I had a bridesmaid dress that needed A LOT of alterations and Michela was quick and did a wonderful job. She made sure I felt comfortable in the dress and did any changes without complaints. I will forever go to her for all my alterations.

Michela is the best! I'm glad I followed my gut instinct and trusted all of the positive reviews instead of going to a place that was just only well known to me. I will be coming back if I ever need any future alterations.

I don’t even know where to begin! Michela saved me from a wedding nightmare. I called her on a Sunday asking her if she would consider fixing my bridal gown that someone else messed up and she said, “sure, come today.” Michela was amazing from the moment I put the dress on- she made me feel so much better and confident that she would save my wedding day. It was a big job and she called me back for a second fitting 2 days later. My dress is perfect and more than I could ever have dreamed of. Sometimes something bad has to happen to find something so wonderful. Thank you, Michela!! She is a gem, a true gift that I had the opportunity to work with her.

So very fortunate to have found this very special, talented woman. She completely had to remake my dress because of a sizing issue. she had it ready for pick in 3 days and it fit absolutely perfect!!! 100% would recommend for any and all alteration needs!

She’s amazing! She finished the dress in almost less than a week. And she did a beautiful job with every detail looking perfect! I highly recommend her to anyone!!

works good with the dress, prices is good and love her work

Michela is amazing. she did my dress in one night and did an amazing job. she is so nice and so talented. best experience I have ever had getting a dress altered.

Michela did an amazing job altering my daughter’s prom dress. I called her on a Tuesday, got an appointment the same day and picked up the dress on Thursday! Michela is extremely experienced and takes pride in her work. I highly recommend her for any alterations you need!!

We called Michela on Saturday and got an appointment the same day because prom was just around the corner. She called me the very next day to say the dress was finished. It was done to perfection!! I grew up with a mother who made everything we wore so I know what it takes to do what Michela does. She went above and beyond to complete the dress and at a competitive price. She is a very kind lady who is dedicated to her life long profession and we couldn’t be happier with the end result. Thank you Michela.

Michela is AMAZING
I got my prom dress and it turned out a little too big for me, the straps were falling down and the cups were a little too big on my chest. She tightened the straps to fit me perfectly and put in comfortable pads for my chest. It made my chest look amazing and everything fit me perfectly. It looked like nothing was even done to the dress. She is a miracle worker. And did this all in a matter of 2 days!!!!! I adore her and the work she does.

I needed my grandmother of the bride dress shortened....I brought my dress in to Michela and three hours later I was able to pick up my dress... Michela did a beautiful job... not to mention she is a sweetheart and very personable ...
I would highly recommend Michela...

Michela did my wedding dress 3 years ago and was absolutely amazing! Everything turned out perfect and I couldn’t be happier. I recently went back to her to have a bridesmaid dress altered and again she did a fantastic job would definitely recommend!!!!

Michela is amazing! My dress was a complete mess and she was able to fix it within a day for my event! Hands down the sweetest, nicest and most experienced woman I’ve ever had alterations done by. Will definitely be coming back for all of my future alterations!

Michela is UNBELIEVABLE! I had to have my dress let out, which is not fun for any bride to have to deal with. I was so ashamed, and worried that my dress would look different or scream "I GAINED WEIGHT" with obvious extra fabric. Michela seamlessly (pun intended) took out the dress under the arms in a way that no one could ever guess from looking at it that it was let out. It made me cry. She is so talented, patient, kind... and AFFORDABLE! Thank you, Michela, for making my dress a dream and giving me so much confidence!

Michela is a miracle worker! My daughter had the nightmare experience that was House of Brides. Less than 3 weeks before her wedding, with no dress in hand from House of Brides, we went to Eva's Bridal in Lombard. My daughter found a beautiful sample dress from Eva's but it was a size 14. Michela turned a size 14 dress into a size 6 in less than 1 week! There were 3 layers to Angela's dress. I truly thought this was an impossible task! Michela is AMAZING and no less than a miracle worker! I would give you 10 stars if I could!

Michela, you saved Angela's wedding! I will mail you pictures from the wedding as I could not figure out how to post them here.

Michela was heaven sent! After waiting 20 weeks for a dress I ordered from The House of Brides, I recieved my dress a week before my daughters wedding. Not knowing who I would even get to alter the dress with such short notice, I called Michela.( a friend gave me her number). She told me to bring it right over and not to worry any more. She called me the next day and told me it was done and that I could pick it up. She did a beautiful job! I highly recommend her 100%!!! She is sweet, professional, confident and knows what she is doing. Don't know what i would have done without her!!! Thank You Michela!

Michela is AMAZING! It was hard for me to find someone to trust with my expensive hand-beaded dress. I would trust this women with anything after seeing her amazing work happen right before my eyes. She has been doing this for over 60 years and has more knowledge on dresses/clothing than anyone I have even know. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU GO TO HER! YOU WILL BE VERY HAPPY WITH HER WORK! :)

DID A VERY GOOD JOB ALTERING MY DAUGHTER DRESS ,100% will recommend.

Best service have ever had. Michaela was very sweet and kind and did a fantastic job altering my prom dress! I 100% would recommend her to everyone I know.

I'm very please with how my daughters 8th grade graduation dress came out. I did bring it elsewhere and they told me I would have to purchase another dress because the beading on the dress and it was impossible to take in. I took her dress to Michela and she told me yes, she can take it in, even with all the beading.
I will and I have told my friends and family about Michela, and I will definitely will be a returning customer...Thank you Michela!!!

I’m very satisfied with my how my dress came out I’m so in love with how it looks and i will be coming back. Michela’s work is definitely worth 5 stars, I would definitely recommend Michela to my friends and family. I hope you enjoy the cookies ????. Grazie Michela

I'm not a typical customer, but I am a very happy one.
I am a man that works outside in all weather and depends on working clothes. I purchased a new, very warm, high quality, hooded, zip-up sweatshirt from an online retailer. The sleeves were not lined with nylon, making my shirt sleeves grab on to the cotton and ride up to my elbows every time I put it on.
She "installed" sleeve liners and it looks like it was done in the factory. PervedtI'm in awe of her ability.
Michela is fast, versatile, meticulous and an absolute sweet woman.
Molte grazie Michela!

Michela did an excellent job with my dress! Great to work with and very flexible!

Michela is amazing! She helped me fix a bridesmaids dress tragedy in one day! Her expertise is unmatched. My bridesmaids dress was WAY too big on me and the first tailor I took it to did the best they could, but it looked so bad on me that my own mother told me "you can't wear that to the wedding." So in my desperation, Eva's Bridal recommended Michela and she fixed the dress so it actually fit me. She really is an expert in her field and she is an incredibly kind person. You won't be disappointed if you work with Michela!

Michela did an amazing job she made my size 8 dress to my normal size which is usually a 0. I'm very satisfied and recommend her!

I am so happy I found Michela! She had my dress finished within days and she did an impeccable job. Her pricing is fair and reasonable and she is a delightful person. I will definitely hire her again in the future.

This lady is the best! Michela did my daughters wedding dress, maid of honor and mother of the bride all in 2 weeks! So easy to get along with, professional job! Easy to make appts also as my daughter lives out of state Michela always made time for us!

If you want someone that knows her stuff look no further. Very nice, talented lady that can do any request that you have. The alterations on my daughters wedding gown were great. Anything we asked for she did. Would definitely recommend her to everyone I know and will use her again for personal tailoring.

Michela did my dress for my wedding. She did an excellent job! Efficient work, timely manner and very professional!

If you are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and is a complete perfectionist-look no further. Michela turned my dream dress into a piece of art. I could not believe how she works w the intricate lace that my dress had. She was able to look at me and see form how I was standing that I needed an adjustment here or there. She takes pride in her work and wants you walking out of her door happy and feeling confident and beautiful. I drove 3 hours round trip many times and would do it all over again to have her work with my dress.
Happy Bride

Excellent work done by Michela. I brought her 2 dresses, a lace and silk wedding dress and knee length cotton reception dress. The wedding dress required extensive work as the dress was a sample and required to be taken in a lot and shortened. As a veteran Italian seamstress, she knows all types of dresses including intricate lace. Excellent work on the lace. The alterations were professional and done expertly. She will meet all of your needs and make sure you are fully satisfied. She also has accessories to enhance your dress. She had a belt to enhance my short dress and sewed it onto the dress where you'd think it was bought that way. Prices are reasonable. Wedding dress alteration costs are high in general, and she will allow you to set a comfortable payment schedule. Her fitting schedule is flexible and accommodating. Highly recommend her services, particularly if you live in the south suburbs.

Michela is absolutely the best!!! She is such a nice lady! I picked up my wedding dress today and I was so happy with her work! She did an amazing job. I asked for custom sleeves an she went out of her way to please me. Her work is very professional. I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs alterations. She will not hand over your dress until your 100% satisfied.

I recently had Michela alter two dresses for an upcoming wedding. She was professional, kind, and wanted me to look my best. She did a great job with the alterations. I will definitely return if I need other clothes altered. Thank you, Michela!

Michela is amazing!
She worked with me in a quick time to fix my beautiful dress. She made it perfect for my big day! She is very knowledgeable in custom making dresses and alterations. She custom made the prettiest top for my wedding dress! She is wonderful!

From the monent I put on my dresses for Michela to fit I felt I was in cabable hands. She handled my dresses professionally. She instinctively knew what my dresses needed for a perfect fit. Her nimble fingers moved with confidence pinning here and there. She made me feel comfortable and I knew I could trust her. She did a SUPERB job. I am 100% happy. I would highly recommend her. Excellent work! Very processional! She's friendly and kind as well. I will definitely go back to her for ALL my alteration needs.

I am so pleased with the work Michela did for me. I had a mother of the bride dress that I loved but it just did not fit exactly like I hoped. Michela has a great eye and knew exactly what to do. She is also very reasonable. You will not be sorry if you use her.

Michel is AWESOME! She's made 3 dresses for me. 2 prom dresses, and my wedding dress. I found her after spending hundreds of dollars with someone else who messed up the dress I wanted her to make. I was so hopeless and then I found Michela online. She made my dress (es) quickly, and very professional. My dresses are extremely classy and I was able to wear them more than once.

Michela is amazing and so sweet!! I would love to post pictures of her wonderful work on my dress as soon as the wedding is over. My bustle is so unique and gorgeous. Loved working with her and valued her expertise and opinion. Would definitely recommend her to fellow brides!!

Michela did a fantastic job on my wedding dress! She really took the time to make sure everything looked perfect and that I was happy! I've never felt so beautiful in a dress before!

Michelle did fantastic work and I couldn't be happier with my wedding dress! She will do everything possible to make sure you have the best fit. She is also very flexible to accommodate her clients. I am from out of town and could only visit her at limited times for fittings but she was willing to have me at her house at off-times. She nailed the fit and made my dress look like it was made for me =] thank you, Michela!!

Great customer service, great turn around, perfect work! Thanks

Great work!! You can tell how much experience Michela has. I will be back!

Amazing work!!! Very happy I came into contact with Michela to do my bridesmaid dress alterations! I came to her nervous because my dress was too small and she fit it to me perfectly. She was very fast and I can't wait to wear the dress to my wedding. I will be coming to her with all my alteration needs!

Great work!! Very nice and doesn't look it was touched!

Michela is wonderful to work with and does amazing work. Her schedule is VERY flexible and her prices are honest and reasonable. Highly recommended!

I am very satisfied with my dress that Michela altered. She is very accommodating and I could tell that she is an expert and the right person to go to for wedding alterations. I even gave her Ferrero chocolates just to show how much I appreciate the work that she has done for me. She is a very pleasant lady.

Michela is absolutely true to her words! She does excellent work! Our bridesmaids dresses needed alterations.. we called her and came in the same day. We got them back in less than a week. She made my dress fit perfectly beautiful. She is a true artist and a professional.. Strongly recommend for quality bridal alterations.

I stupidly waited last minute to get my bridesmaid dress altered for a wedding I was standing up in. I brought it to a alteration place and after having it for 5 days she refused to do it! This was 3 days before the wedding. I was recommended to michela and she had me come in right away. Not only did she do an AMAZING job with my dress she had it done in one day and it was perfect!! I will recommend her to everyone i know that needs any kind of alteration. She's fast and does great work and can't wait to bring my wedding dress to her for my November wedding!!!!

Michela is a gem! I had a one-month deadline for my wedding dress bought 4 sizes too big, hand-beaded from top to bottom. I was VERY thorough about finding the right person for the job. My dress could honestly not fit or look any better. The dress looks like it was made for my body- without a single trace of alterations! There is simply no comparison to the quality of her work. Absolutely perfect. Thank you, Michela!

Michela did an AMAZING job on my dress, I dropped it off to her and within a week it was done! She is very professional and took her time to fix everything I needed. I had sleeves on my dress that needed to be fixed, the shoulders needed to be taken in and 42+ bustles! She numbered each ribbon that needed to be tied so we won't be scrambling on the big day trying to bustle it! I was there for two fittings and each one took about an hour or more! She has the biggest heart and made sure that my dress looked beautiful for my big day?? I will be sending all my bridesmaids who need alterations to her and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who needed wedding dress alterations!
